Nidalee AP, Katarina AP, Akali AP, Evelynn AP, Leblanc AP. We have no AD female primary assassins. This doesn't count irelia nor fiora and so on, because they are primary a fighter and secondary assassin.

Malphite The best male(?) AP assassin

Most of those champions have good AD scalings... Kat, Eve, Akali. Just because you are hugging the meta and building them AP doesn't mean they can't be AD.

Why does it matter?

Katarina, Evelynn, and Akali have AD scalings. So you can technically go AD on them but you'll be a little less bursty from skills and will need to AA a lot more.

Coincidence?

Maybe we could get an ad female Yordle jungler assassin?

Most AD Female Assassins are usually Ranged, Burst heavy Marksman (see Vayne and Quinn)

I mean, technically Akali and Katarina are "hybrid" champions because hybrid champions are totally a legit thing outside of on-hit builds guys

Though all the female AD assassins have been reworked out of the game. RIP Old Poppy RIP Old Fiora RIP AD Nid (kind of) and good fucking riddance

Men are physically stronger most of the time so they can wield huge axes and big swords. The women on the other hand have to rely less on brute strength....so magic ?

Does Kat look like the kind of human that could lug around a large sword around comfortably ? Shit won't look natural....but Tryndamere, can't imagine him with anything other than some huge piece of metal walking around clubbing people to death.

There are plenty of female champions that fight with physical damage.

The closest thing to a female AD assassin right now is probably Irelia , although she is a brusier.

Riven Is also a quasi-assassin/skirmisher

Riot should've reworked Katarina an AD.

This sentence looks like an excuse just to uphold your first sentence in order to gain unnecessary attention.

The only 2 AD primary assassins that are human are Talon and Zed.

Can't really ask for gender equality when there is literally only 2 samples.

Also why enforce it in the first place? not every male thing need to have a female equivalent.

Because you need to think for something more than your Pee pee, to be able to cast abilities Kappa.

joke aside, you can play Kata and Eve even nidalee AD without an issue actually...

Kaioko10/21/2016, 4:47:45 PM1 votes

Because casting spells = brain power but brain power =/= the male gender.

Just kidding well sort of.

Oleandervine10/21/2016, 4:49:17 PM1 votes

Akali is mixed. She's neither primary AD or AP.

those tags aren't meant for experienced players

But we really don't need this.

I can't remember. Was Poppy's OLD Assassin first? I think one of hers was an assassin. Otherwise, I think that it is just a coincidence.

Quinn is about as close as it gets.
